Mosholu Station Closure to Begin Oct. 30

By JORDAN MOSS

While service has resumed at the Bedford Park Boulevard station on the No. 4 line after a four-month rehab project, the Mosholu Parkway station is about to undergo a similar facelift.

Beginning on Oct. 30, the northbound side of the station will close for three months and the southbound side will close for a similar length of time beginning next summer, according to a New York City Transit spokesperson.

Subway riders who usually stop at Mosholu will now have to take the train an extra stop to Woodlawn and then travel downtown one stop back to Mosholu.

The project will include the reopening of the southern entrance of the station, which has been closed for years. Tracey Towers residents and commuters who transfer from the 4 train to the Bx1 and Bx2 bus lines, or vice versa, will benefit from the new entrance.

Both the Bedford Park station and the Burnside Avenue station reopened on Oct. 16. Both stations were closed on June 17 for renovations, including new mezzanines, platform floors, windscreens, canopy roofs, as well as electrical upgrades and the installation of fluorescent lighting.
